Perfection
3. The Way of Wisdom
The third is the way of wisdom, accomplished only by the few. The disciple disregards life's momentary comforts, unties himself from all earthly bondages and turns his eyes toward God, inspired with divine wisdom. He gains command over his body, his thoughts and feelings, and is thereby enabled to create his own heaven within himself, that he may rejoice until merged into the eternal goal.
"We have stripped the veil from thine eyes, and thy sight today is keen", says the Qur'an.
All must journey along one of these three paths, but in the end they arrive at one and the same goal.
As it is said in the Qur'an, "It is He who multiplied you on the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered."
